COVID-19 therapies for inpatients: a review and quality assessment of clinical guidelines.

Owing to condensed development processes, expanding evidence and differences in healthcare system characteristics, many COVID-19 guidelines differ in their quality and treatment recommendations, which has consequences for clinical practice. This review aimed to identify COVID-19 treatment guidelines, assess their quality and summarise their recommendations. Guidelines were identified for five therapies most commonly used among inpatients with COVID-19 (remdesivir, dexamethasone, tocilizumab, baricitinib and casirivimab/imdevimab) from 11 countries.
